However, I notice that this doesn't prevent people from typing in what they want. Only the calendar tool is restrcited.

It requires adding JavaScript (jQuery) to the page where your form is embedded to restrict the date range. It's not a feature of Gravity Forms, but you can control all the options of the jQuery UI Datepicker. They are documented here: <a href="http://jqueryui.com/datepicker/" rel="nofollow">http://jqueryui.com/datepicker/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/calendar-does-the-date-picker-still-allow-users-to-pick-dates-in-the-past#post-128948 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 23:06:54 +0000 pming 128948@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I think there's an existing topic about this, but I can't access it since my license has expired.</p> <p>I'm planning to renew my license, but I want to know first if this issue still exist or if there's a way to keep users from picking dates in the past. </p>
